(Australian Trusted Trader)

Voice over: Australian Trusted Trader (or ATT) is a voluntary trade facilitation initiative implemented by the Australian Border Force (ABF). ATT will foster legitimate trade in and out of Australia, while securing the border. ATT is free to join and is open to all Australian businesses active in the international supply chain that meet entry requirements.

(Entry requirements: Australian Business Number, two years of trading history, financially solvent, and the self-assessment questionnaire)

Voice over: ATT is an Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) programme. AEO programmes work by accrediting businesses against standards set by the World Customs Organisation. In return, businesses are offered a range of trade facilitation benefits. More than 70 countries have AEO programmes.
